1% For The Planet

We joined 1% For the Planet to showcase our deep commitment to the planet. 1% For the Planet helps us to amplify our message and share it with a larger audience. We think all businesses should join!

1% For the Planet works to increase funding to the environment by leading a network of businesses, non-profits, and individuals working together for a healthy planet. Launched in 2002 by Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, and Craig Mathews, former owner of Blue Ribbon Flies, their network consists of thousands of member companies and non-profit partners in more than 40 countries.

Members pledge to donate 1% of their sales each year directly to approved non-profit partners. 1% For the Plant manages and certifies all donations.
